I often here peoplesay things like, "That guy is underrated", Or "That movie is highly overated"...and often I just nod along. But sometimes I wonder if there are in fact things that are truly rated properly?Or rather if there are alos things that have been referred to as underated somuch that they have in fact now become overated..But I digress..



Here is a short list of things ,in my humble opinion, that are  neither overated nor underated..People appear to agree on the exact merit of each of these..and this my friends is a not an easy list to make.My efforts are highly underated


1. The Social Network(solid movie,not great,but certainly not lousy)

2. A hot shower after a long day

3. Halle Berry's gorgeousness

4. The ability to make stranger's laugh..especially hot ones

5. Rihanna

6. The unintentional comedy of NTV news presenters

7. The horror at realiszing your fly is open...

8. Cee-Lo's song " Forget you"

9. An accidental passing of gas

10. Finding out you're going bald

p.s..A shorter list of overated underated
Over rated
1. First kisses

2. Top ten lists

3. The world cup(Quick who was in the quarter finals last year..10 seconds)

4. ABS

5.Those housewives on wysteria lane...tame in comparison to all the recent real houswives shows

Under-rated
1. A football game broadcasted on CBS radio

2. The 80's-The A team, high unemployment,dance music, skinny jeans..we're trying our hardest to get back to them

3.The ability to recount a movie with such detailand charisma as to make people want to watch it.(Think of your best      friend in prmary telluing you about the latest James Bond movie.Like you didn't go out to find it after)

4.A good handshake..(Firm,not likea vice grip,proper duration,no condensation whatsoever and no more than 3 shakes)

5. The ability to break up with no drama

Every Refuge has its price: My visit to the Prophet Mbonye- led Fellowship of Remnants

I'm not really the kind of guy that's spontaneous. Many a companion has tried to get me to do things spur of the moment and had their enthusiasm slowly drained as I whipped out my calendar to see if I could spare the time for their aside. Want to go to the bar? -Better give me a day's notice. Want to have lunch today?Better shoot me a text before 8am. Want to come over to my place? Send an owl with a handwritten letter in triplicate at least 4 business days ahead! I'm just the type of person who generally knows what I'll be doing days in advance. It was therefore rather out of the ordinary for me to suddenly think one Monday afternoon - "Hey why don't I just go see what is going on at the Mbonye thing ? " I texted my friend and asked her if she'd want to go with me but true to adult life-arranging a time that worked for us both was a little difficult. But this played right into my wheelhouse. We finally set a date and I was excited. In

The Disasterous Liberating Encounters of Love

Image
This is a brief story of a boy and his encounters with love  All quotes used are by Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek Love as an event    "Love is a disturbance of the existing order, the intrusion of the impossible into the possible, the subversion of the symbolic order. It disturbs the reality we take for granted, and reveals that reality is not all there is, that there is always something more." Isn't it true that many of us fall in love and it is a complete disaster? You are moving along enjoying your life, hanging out with friends, playing sports, reading questionable books, and wondering where exactly your life is going but you are too busy enjoying the ride to ruin it with questions.  For the boy, it was in the way he was coming into his own, from nerdy to well still nerdy but able to fool most of the people some of the time that he had some cool aspects!! Women were starting to pay attention to this lad who'd just survived puberty but retained the earnestness

Dont Act. Just Think : A short lesson from 2023

Image
Friends, as the embers of another year flicker low, I feel a chill wind whispering through the cracks in the edifice we call progress. It's not the usual New Year's shivers, the anxieties about resolutions, the hollow clink of glasses filled with liquid courage. It is a deeper tremor, a confession from the soul. that's been ill at ease for a while. This year served up losses. From loved ones gone too soon, to opportunities dashed through no fault of my own, to the inescapable loss of contentment at living in step with the just the way life is. Never more has the phrase " personal is political " resonated so much. Never have I seen change, innovation, and hoe mounted everywhere but in the realm of communal decision making how we decide the relations of life between us. For years, I, too, sang the siren song of self-reliance, the gospel of "hard work saves us.". That's a bit f luck and surely we can all make it.I was intimately aware of the challen
